[MEGA] Healthier "alternative"/homemade smoking devices

effective vaporizer?

i have never used a vaporizer before so i'm not sure how "Effective" this method is...but i used a spice holder that's made of glass.. put 2 holes in the top.. one with a tube going through it, and trhe other as the choke.. screw off the lid.. put small mamount of powereed weed in there and then hold a lighter under this..

only thing is... when i do this the spice container becomes pitch black, and it take slike 2 minutes of ohlding a lighte runder it to work.. any ideas?

and i cant get alightbulb vaporizer to work due to lack of lightbulbs and a saw :o

any other ideas?
 
i smoked out ofit and it dind't really taste like weed.. but when i took the weed out about half of it was all brown.. looked like someone had taken some weed and put it in a piep, then sucked in for like 1/10th of a second and just scorched the weed...... did i smoke i-t?
i had already blazed a lot before, so im not sure if i got that much more stoend.. i think id id tho
 
ive been thinking of making a vaporizer out of a glass spice bottle too... however pardon my ignorance but what is the "choke" (the second hole) for
 
okay... you hold down the choke while you're inhaling... then the spice thing should fill pretty full with smoke.. release the choke, and you suck air into the container which sucks all the vapor into your lungs.....

maybe you call a choke something eles?
 
Making a clean hole for a slider in a starbucks frappacino

im trying to make a clean hole in a glass frappacino bottle to put a slider in it what would be the best and safest method of doing this?
 
put the two holes in the cap, one for the bowl and one for a plastic hose and make a little hooka type thing
 
Re: Another variable

I think another variable is how long you are able to hold it in. Some people same this isn't a factor but I don't think that your lungs can absorb all the thc if you just suck it in and push it back out. Off a joint I maybe be getting more thc per volume but maybe not all of it is being absorbed because I have asthma and have a hard time bringing hot smoke down without topshelving it and coughing everywhere. Its also hard to hold in a long time (for me). So when I take a hit off a triple chambered hot/hot/cold bong I can hold it in longer thus absorbing more thc. If someone can give me any proof to help support this view that would appreciated. If not I always like hearing your thoughts :) .

Again, according to Levinthal's Drugs and Behavior book, you should hold in a hit for 27 seconds to receive maximum thc absorption. I always just hold it in as long as possible, as I don't usually make it that long.
It makes sense to me, I mean, all the smoke in your lungs has to swirl around enough that it comes in contact with the tissue, so the thc can be absorbed.
 
i'm not sure how safe this is, or what its even made out of, but i've used the cap on a salt shaker (the one that looks like the popes hat) as a bowl before...worked pretty well...
 
Could a frappacino bottle be used as vaporizer the same way the lightbulb one works? Or is the glass like to think or something?

Buy a few lightbulbs. Make a lightbulb vaporizer.

Exhibit A -- Took me all of 5 minutes to make, rinsing and drying took a little longer though. Don't use a saw on them.

Call me a newb, but I don't know how it works. Could you PM me an explanation on making one and using it? I'd appreciate it.

Easiest homemade way to smoke if you're in a pinch is just to make a gravity. Use a 2-3 liter pop bottle, cut out the bottom, fill your kitchen sink with cold water and let it rip. Turn the lid upside down and poke holes to make a quick screen. Or of course, an apple.
 
Sockets?

I just read that sockets are potentionally dangerous to use when smoking pot. My current waterbong is made from the following materials:

3-ball tennis ball container
Plastic pen tube
Socket, screen
Duct tape

I don't see how the tennis ball container could be dangerous at all, so moving on. Plastic pen tube, well, the flame is hitting the socket, so I don't see how it's dangerous. Duct tape is just to hold the socket to the pen, and sealed. Anyway, what I read is a socket has a sort of coating on it that makes it potentially harmful to smoke out of. Is this true? What materials would you use to make a waterbong? Here's a pic:

It's the best I could make out of what I had, and I'm not terribly concerned about health issues - but it'd be better to have a healthier option, and preferrably to know new ways to make waterbongs.
 
Anything made of plastic is unhealthy because the plastic can heat up and release some fumes. one time isnt so bad but if you do it all the time it's probably not healthy. that same thing goes for the tape.

i dont know about the socket. i'm going to merge this with the thread on homemade devices
 
Go with glass house hold items. If you use a plastic hose for the mouthpiece that won't have any effect on health as the water will cool it off before it reaches the hose. I have a classy homemade bong named Jack… I explained it earlier but now I modified it by using a piece of metal pipe as a stem for the bowl which seperate.
 
I just built a vaporizer using the instructions posted earlier, and I must say, it is absolutely amazing. I got to sit in my room and smoke with the windows closed and my parents in the room next to me. It was marvelous.

The high is different. I only took 4 or 5 hits, and I'm pretty trashed. I don't feel dry or thirsty, nor do I have much in the way of munchies - which I always do.

Word of advice to anyone considering making one: You don't have to have the clear kind of lightbulb. If you have a white frosted one, all you have to do is wash out the white crap.
